Photo Flash: First Look at 1st Stage's BROADWAY BOUND

By:

Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, the third and final installment of Neil Simon's acclaimed autobiographical trilogy finds Eugene Jerome and his older brother Stanley trying to break into the world of show business. While coping with their parents' crumbling marriage, the boys pursue their dream of becoming famous comedy writers by drawing from their surroundings to create a sketch about family antics. When their material is broadcast on the radio for the first time, their family is upset to hear a thinly-veiled portrait of themselves played for laughs...and they are not alone. This warm, gently humorous play is a welcome treat for the Holidays.

The 1st Stage production of Broadway Bound by Neil Simon features Scott Ward Abernethy, Kathleen Akerley, Andy Brownstein, Teresa Castracane, Noah Schaefer, and Stan Shulman. Shirley Serotsky directs the production for 1st Stage.

The design team includes: scenic design by Jonathan Dahm Robertson, costume design by Robert Croghan, lighting design by Brittany Shemuga, sound design by Jeffrey Dorfman, properties design by Deb Crerie and Kay Rzasa, and dialects by Jane Margulies Kalbfeld.
